rise up for you are beautiful!

Last night I watched a powerful documentary Searching for Sugarman. If you haven't seen it, do.

It is a call to arms! Rise up...

- see every day as sacred

- beauty lies everywhere and is the key to creativity and inspiration

- success is living your truth 

- power is acting with integrity and humility

For you are beautiful!

life cycles

This blog is not about some new fitness machine, it's about a driving motion that continues throughout our journey called life.

My wonderful parents are on the eve of celebrating 50 years together, having lived through many stages, teen lovers through to grandparents, a gammit of cycles, one leading to the next and the next and the next, and which makes our cultures obsession for the fight against ageing truely far-out and absurd.

We would do well to embrace the stages or life cycles, to look out for them coming, prehaps prepare for them physically and mentaly. Change happens the instant we are conceived and is our only true constant.

Here's your homework:
Spend one minute every night taking in the moon. Wherever you are on the globe, pause a moment and check out it's ever changing most beautiful face. Use these instances to honestly acknowledge where you are in your life; Relect on where you're at. If an un-named fear arises, calmly speak to yourself saying something like "it's all only natural" and "I'm just on a bike called life".  These instances of reflection will help with self acceptance, they'll give you wings to fly higher above the world of worries

Try it and see...

heheheheh...!

it's...

JACARANDER TIME IN SYDNEY!; Filling the air with purple sweetness, pooling the streets with lilac. Blossom intermittently release down on you with delicate floppiness.

Meaning of Life??

Intimacy is a lifelong journey.

It's about delving deeper and deeper into the reservoir of yourself and allowing what you discover to show; To show and be seen by another.

And intimacy takes time and time is all we have, so does that mean intimacy/love = meaning of life??

Be in Nature

North Bondi cave terrace

At 18 years old when I moved into the city from idyllic Arcadia, I felt thirsty for natural environments just to be in.

Exploring our harbour city, I found many.

Take advantage of secluded spots to sunbake or discover walks in beautiful natural places.

minute by minute..

...adds up to a day, day by day turns into a life.

It's in each moment that we live. Right now you are in the most important time of your life. Not when you're 'dreams come true', not when you find the 'love of your life'. It's right now that matters most.

So what are you doing?, dumb question Kate, you're reading my blog. But when you're done reading it, maybe you'll make a cup of tea. Make that tea with grace and care, pause and sip it with reverence -  appreciate the moment. Maybe you're off to work - in which case be 100% present, focused and alert, do the best job you can.

To live well each moment rather than just exist, never complain. To complain is to negate hope and faith - two of the most intrinsic ingredients in a happy life. Divaldo Pereira, one of the leading mediums and spiritualist speakers of our times says most stridently

"Do not complain!, nor list to ingratitude. The ungrateful person knows that he is so. When sorrowful, he punishes himself and when unhappy, he torments himself".

Face and accept what is, right now, live now, minute by minute you will manifest a reverential life - glorious in it's simplicity and joy.

I desire a lap pool of my own, by hey a blow-up in a back-yard is total fun too!
